A feeling of audaciousness may have you stretching boundaries and taking risks today. It could be a good day to act on things you’ve been putting off, because you can harness the courage available to you today. Such boldness may serve you well, especially when you are acting on inspiration that has been run through the filters of your heart and mind. There is no need to be reckless, but you may want to reexamine your reasons for not doing something you had previously decided to put off. If you can determine that it was merely emotional fear rather than rational fear for your safety or wellbeing, it might be worth it to make a leap of faith and take a risk today.

Taking small risks in life teaches us when to take big ones by helping us fine-tune our intuition. When we weigh the rewards and consequences of emotional risks such as asking someone out on a date, asking for a raise, or daring to share a piece of artwork, we can see that the benefits usually outweigh the negatives. There are times when our sense of fear is guiding us correctly, however, and we can only learn to understand our inner compass by using it regularly in safe situations and paying attention to the results. As we stretch boundaries today, we are learning to be less concerned about the opinions of others and take the risks that will allow us to more fully become the people we are meant to be.
